HOMER - COONHOUND / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Coonhound / Mixed. Meet Homer, Your Trail-ready Adventurer & Couch Companion. Homer is affectionate, kind, and easy-going. This big-hearted dog makes everything feel a little simpler. Through no fault of his own, Homer is looking for a new forever home after his owner became ill and could no longer care for him. His sister dog is off finding her own new home, and he misses her. Homer's sad and a little confused by it all, and he may be vocal while he settles in. He's claimed a life-sized stuffie as his comfort companion, and that has helped. He was recently estimated at 10 years old and weighs 63lbs. This handsome, mature gentleman has a calm nature. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and fits right into a pack. In foster care, he's living with two dogs, one meek and one intensely alpha, and navigates both with total ease. No posturing, no drama. He enjoys both human and canine company and is just as content hanging out with you as he is going for a walk. He's happy to curl up at your feet on a work-from-home day and cuddle up on the couch to wind down in the evening. Homer loves his daily strolls and can handle longer hikes with ease. He’s great on leash, enjoys car rides, and would be thrilled to join you on road trips and adventures. He takes in the chaos around him — kids, bikes, bouncy dogs— with the quiet confidence of a dog who has seen things and isn't rattled by much. At the end of the day, he settles in beautifully and sleeps comfortably in his crate. He’s housetrained, well mannered, and easy to live with. He recently spent time with a 5-year-old child who played all over him. He was gentle and patient the whole time. Fair warning: counter surfing is his one vice. He's sneaky like that. He is not a fan of cats, but he is very dog-friendly. Give Homer a steady home and a good walk, and he will be yours completely. He's ready. Are you? Homer is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and available for adoption through Paws Across Pittsburgh, Springdale, PA KL# 16182.
